Upgrade
The Upgrade feature allows an Administrator to upgrade the Dominion SX unit's firmware/application to a newer
version of firmware. Firmware and application upgrades preserve user-defined settings, so the unit does not need to
be re-configured after the upgrade procedure is complete.
In order to perform a firmware upgrade, the Administrator must download the upgrades file(s) onto a local FTP
server and needs the IP address of the FTP server and the file path to the upgrade file(s). Many upgrades can be
performed "anonymously" from the FTP server, and the default settings of this screen are for an anonymous upgrade.
However, some FTP servers require a user name and password. If this is the case, the Administrator can uncheck the
"Anonymous" box and enter the correct user name and password for the FTP server.
Once the upgrade is initiated, the status bar will indicate the progress of the upgrade and a pop-up window will
notify the user once the upgrade procedure is complete.
Figure 68 Upgrade Display
Upgrades can be done of the complete software (AmpAdmin package) and the various applications (AmpApp
package) supplied by Raritan. The upgrade steps are similar for both cases.
To Perform a Complete Software Upgrade:
1. Click on the [ Upgrade ] button in the left panel.
2. Enter the IP Address where the software package is located.
3. Enter the File Path to the software package, for example , /pub/Dominion/AmpAdmin .
4. Enter FTP Username and Password , if required.
5. Click on the [ Upgrade ] button.
6. The unit will access the FTP server and download and install the file(s) onto the unit.
7. The unit will automatically reboot after the software is installed.
Important! During an upgrade procedure, do not attempt to access any unit features or functions,
including, but not limited to, Reset and Exit. Interrupting the upgrade procedure can cause memory
corruption and render the unit non-functional. Such an action voids your warranty or service contract, and
in such a case unit repair/replacement costs are solely the responsibility of the user.
